Contador later mentioned how he trusted nobody on the team except for his personal mechanic. They had to store his bikes in the hotel room to prevent potential sabotage.

This movie is unreal. It doesn't tell what really happened in team Astana. That Contador has won this Tour almost on his own, with just one mechanic he could trust. The rest of the team, lead by Armstrong and Bruyneel, were against him, showing really low life, intimidating behaviour. So cool that Contador succeeded, despite all the shit from Armstrong cs.

The funny story is... it is tradition that the winner of the TdF buy his teammates a gift for their work. Contador bought watches, he delivered the watch to Lance at the next year's TdF. Lance was on the team bus and refused to meet Contador to accept the watch. Contador could have sent it to him... but he wanted to look Lance in the eyes and let him know he kicked his ass.

Contador was one of a kind, he's explosion, style and act will for ever be unmatched!

What's funny as hell is that this was absolutely Lance's downfall. If he just left well enough alone and retired the first time and didn't try to come back and prove he was better than Contador (first w Astana then w Radio Shack), the 2010 US Federal investigation, the only one that stuck, would have never happened. Some people don't know when to quit while they're ahead.

El Pistolero in his prime was certainly a sight to behold. Very inspiring!

It's a shame, they had all mentaly broken the other teams, Contador attacked Armstong and Kloden, all of a sudden Astana wasn't a unstoppable juggernaut.
